Everyone in the LA area should check out the Red Rabbit Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair, with work for sale by 27 local artists including my mom. The event is held in the Descanso Gardens in La Canada and is free with garden admission ($8) so you can come to the show, buy local for the holidays, and then enjoy walking around the gardens, which are decorated for Christmas.

For more event information, go here.

My mom's Etsy site, Posh Plums, is on Cuteable today!

You can also check her out today in the Etsy Children's Showcase.

I was pleased to see my recent CRAFT article was mentioned today on parenting site otterhop.com as a recommended craft project for kids.

I wanted to turn your attention to my friend (and distant relation) Katy Spindler's new blog and accompanying Etsy shop. If you don't already know, Etsy is a great place to find handmade jewelry, housewares, and other items while supporting artists directly.

Dino Pillows

I just finished this embroidered pillow for my sister Gillian, an homage to the excellent Dinosaur Comics.

Presenting, the baby squid hat. As worn by Rosemary Spindler.

Oh, and I just had an article accepted for an upcoming issue of CRAFT magazine, sister publication of MAKE - and Dev is doing the photos.
